The Mirfield Centre represents the public programmes of the Community. From retreats to school visits, sabbaticals to artists-in-residence and day events to residential conferences, we offer something for all needs, tastes and interests.

People who stay at the Mirfield Monastery, home of the Community of the Resurrection, come for a variety of different reasons. These can be individually arranged retreats, guided retreats led by a member of the Community or the College, week long special courses, or clergy retreats.

We aim to renew this place of hospitality, welcome and learning as a resource for Church and society in a turbulent and changing world.
Our aim is to ensure that all who come can share in our life and leave refreshed and renewed through their experience.

Bishop of Newcastle visits the College of the Resurrection

Each year we are pleased to welcome a number of bishops to the College, usually when they have candidates for ordination in formation with us. In November it was our pleasure to have the Rt Revd Christine Hardman, Bishop of Newcastle, as our guest. For many years there has been a significant number of Diocese of Newcastle ordinands within the College community, and this year is no exception. Bishop Christine was able to meet with those she will be ordaining at Petertide, and also to talk more generally with staff and students about theological education and how the College forms men and women for ordained ministry. She had a very full schedule during the visit, and preached at our Thursday evening Eucharist on the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin.

Visit or Stay

We welcome you to come to CR and to share in our life. Some come regularly to talk with a brother, others spend a day or two experiencing this very different environment. Individuals and groups come on retreat and pilgrimage, share in the teaching and courses we offer and join us in worship and meals.
